I'm hoping Ainge is already talking to Sloan about taking over for Doc. Doc hasn't the extension so he's probably going on a hiatus. I'm not feeling Frank, he's not as good as Thibs. Our defense has taken a step back and Hill run the offense.

Sloan would fit the character of this team perfectly...gritty, gutsy and no-nonsense. They would all be trying for #19 or a first for Sloan. What better pro's to put him with than the Big 3 and the minute Rondo wants to start pouting he'll get dealt with by Sloan for sure.

Sloan is not going to the Lakers. The guy is 68 years old. He never won in Utah with a couple of great players. He will never be the replacement for Doc. You can be sure of that. Why don't we hire Dean Smith with that thinking.

He would have hell to pay with Rondo. And the vets would just love afte Doc give me a break.

Why wouldn't he go to the Lakers or Celtics. His age has all the more reason why he wants to go to a team built to win now so he can get a few rings and move on. He doesn't want to deal with these young ego's like he dealt with in Utah. He's better suited to coach a vet team.

Jerry Sloan is a great coach but if he couldn't get along with Deron Williams (and managed to get himself forced out because of it), what makes you think he could get along with the even moodier Rondo?

Yes, Sloan is a great coach but he's no longer able to deal with the personalities of the current NBA players. Williams wasn't his only failure at the Jazz.....he was frustrated by the entire team not listening to him. At 68 years old, you don't always have the patience with the younger players. From all that I read he's burned out. On top of that, this is a very good hall of fame coach who never won a championship, however, and I don't consider him to be a great "put us over the top" coach if Doc leaves.

If I'm Ainge and Doc leaves, I'm going for an ex-Celtic or a proven coach who's younger.

Yeah and If Sloan Isn't available Ainge should hire Lenny Wilkens or Doug Moe.

yep that personality will go over really welll in that ubuntu locker room. only consider it if we lose in the first round and doc walks. even then perhaps as the defensive replacement if frank walks! better going YOUNGER in this situation. he why not bring in don nelson the ex-celt! seriously, i would bring in kevin mchale if doc walks! he would be awesome in everyway!

KG has said that he only stays in Boston if Doc is the coach. If Doc leaves, then the only people that would be interested, are desperate candidates, and assistant coaches that are willing to take a gamble.

If KG retires, Rondo, Jeff Green, and a team of gunners were meant to run D'Antoni's offense. It's not like they're playing defense anyway. Might as well just go with it. Plus it'd be fun to watch Rondo threaten to get 20 assists on a night-to-night basis
